You know there was once a saying "You show me yours and I'll show you
mine".  Leigh, send me your client list and I'll send you mine.

As a post thought, just before sending this:  LEIGH You PULL YOUR FINGER
OUT AND STOP SPINNING ON IT AND FOLLOW THE FRIGGING INSTRUCTION ON THE
AURSC WEB SIGHT AND YOU TO MIGHT ACTUALLY SEE SOMETHING.

I'm really starting to loose patients with twits like yourself, as on that
note, wont' be further responding to Leigh with any further posts.  Of
course any time I wish to comment to Leighs messages I'll just repost this
one, till he eventually wakes up to himself and realises he can't download
MSIE from the Netscape web sight either.

A small snippet of a page.  Yes of course, you will argue that this is one
lousy dial up user.  Sorry I'm not at liberty to display to YOU a NON AURSC
member the list of participating ISPs.

I fear that doing so might cause them problems, in that people like YOU
might actually block their traffic, ping flood them or cause them other
problems and grief.  So for the protection of those who are in fact
actually resolveing AURSC, I won't publish the list.

Further on the point of Telstra.  To be honest - I don't give TWO HOOTS of
Telstra resolve AURSC or not.  Their users are not impeaded in any fashion
whatsoever from resolving at the DNS level and from using their private
proxy servers to connect to AUS sites.

On the other hand Connect.Com.Au who claim to offer full internet access
actually BLOCK the path for those who are using CCA's network from actually
getting Web Traffic from AUS sites.   Fortunatley those who have complained
have found alternative connections so they may continue to use AUS in the
manner to which they desire.  Too bad for CCA, good for Telstra.

I don't think I'll bother with the rest, but by all means if you choose to
use AURSC, I'll be more than happy to add you to the distribution list of
the now 79 K file.
